Chapter 884

r

The Bank of England Bank of England is subordinate to the British Ministry of Finance. The governing body is the Council, which is composed of the governor, deputy governors and sixteen directors. It is the highest decision-making body. The members are recommended by the British government and appointed by the Queen. r

r

The board of directors needs to meet at least once a week. r

r

This time, in order to calm the turmoil in the financial market, the Bank of England is ready to choose the most suitable plan to minimize the impact of the bankruptcy of the Bank of Barings. r

r

It is about the ownership of the Bank of Bahrain, and all members of the board of directors are in place. r

r

In the conference room of the Bank of England Headquarters, eighteen members of the board of directors are sitting around a long oval table, with a pile of documents stacked in front of everyone. r

r

Sitting at the head of the Bank of England Governor Webb Buster picked up a document and said aloud, ”This is the proposal provided by all those who intend to take over so far. Let's read them all first, and then discuss the results.”r

r

The others did not reply, and silently flipped through the plan in front of them. r

r

For a while, all I could hear in the conference room was the gasp and the sound of flipping through papers. r

r

Weber Buster, who has seen it all, quietly observes the changes in the expressions of the sitting person, his face sometimes showing thinking. r

r

”Flap!” r

r

Time passed slowly, and aware that everyone had finished watching, Webb Buster clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. r

r

”Everyone has read it, so let's all express their opinions.” r

r

As soon as Weber Buster’s voice fell, a board member over 60 said immediately, “I think Barclays Bank’s plan is the best, and with the strength and reputation of Barclays Bank, as long as it takes over the Bank of Bahrain, it can Resolve the crisis as quickly as possible...”r

r

Weber Buster nodded inconspicuously, did not make a statement, and looked at the others. r

r

Weber Buster knew very well that the director’s network was the **** of the Rohill family. r

r

If it is under normal circumstances, Barclays Bank is indeed the best taker, but who made it all doomed? r

r

Now it's just a cutscene, he needs to make the procedure legal and compliant as much as possible, nothing more. r

r

”I think Barclays Bank is not suitable to take over. Barclays Bank and Barings Bank overlap too much business. If it is allowed to take over Barings Bank, most of its employees will be laid off, and the unemployment rate in the financial industry will rise sharply. I think Lloyds Bank’s plan Yes, and Lloyds Bank is re-adjusting its development strategy in the past few months. Overseas capital has shrunk sharply, and Barclays Bank’s cash flow may not be comparable to them.”r

r

”Also, Lloyds Bank's annexation of the Bank of Bahrain can also promote healthy competition in the financial industry.” r

r

Another director who clearly represents the interests of Lloyds Bank retorted. r

r

”I think the HSBC Group...” r

r

……R

r

Each board member expressed their opinions, but they did not give in. The meeting room was gradually filled with the smell of gunpowder. r

r

Weber Buster was silent all the time, keeping everything in sight. r

r

Seeing that he was almost jumping, he secretly cast a color on the deputy governor sitting on the left. r

r

The vice president's eyes flashed, then he patted the table, raised the volume and said, ”Everyone, be quiet, and let other directors who have not yet spoken to express their opinions.” r

r

The directors who had been arguing gradually calmed down and looked around at the directors who had not yet spoken. r

r

A director sitting at the end sat up straight, cleared his throat and said, ”I will express my personal opinion without any personal emotional factors.” r

r

”I think the ninth plan is the most appropriate.” r

r

Some directors were taken aback, and immediately turned out the No. 9 plan. When they saw the takeover party above, they made a chuckle in their hearts and looked at the talkative director suddenly. r

r

”The consortium consisting of Rock Fund, Jiuding Bank, Bright Fund and Black Rose Capital Corporation promised to inject 1 billion U.S. dollars of assets into the Bank of Barings by means of copper futures and aluminum futures contracts plus cash after taking over. Time to lift the bankruptcy crisis of the Bank of Barings.”r

r

”Everyone can see the situation in the futures market. Even if it has money, it is difficult to help the Bank of Barings to clear the position. Among all the plans, only the No. 9 consortium has this ability.”

r

”The consortium headed by Locke Funds is the best way to take over the Bank of Barings.” r

r

As soon as he finished speaking, the first director who spoke for Barclays Bank immediately said, ”Jeff, everyone knows that Barings Bank will go bankrupt because of Rock Fund and Bright Fund. Although Barings Bank is currently taken over by us, the Bahraini family has been The influence of the bank still exists. Are you sure that the consortium headed by the Rock Fund can successfully take over?”r

r

”Furthermore, Black Rose Capital is unknown in the capital market. As for Jiuding Bank, it is a company belonging to Xiangjiang. The consortium headed by Rock Fund has little experience with the elite of the bank. I don't think they are suitable to take over the Bank of Bahrain. ”R

r

The director named Jeffet immediately retorted, ”The failure of the Bank of Bahrain is an unexpected thing, and the futures market is locked up and losses are the biggest problems. As long as these two problems are solved, the Bank of Bahrain can quickly get out of the quagmire. Since Locker Fund is the leader. The consortium’s plan can quickly solve these two problems, how could it not be suitable?”r

r

……R

r

All of a sudden, there was a quarrel in the conference room, more and more directors mixed in, and the conference room was in a mess. r

r

At this moment, Weber Buster, who was sitting above him, frowned, slapped the table abruptly, and said loudly, ”Well, do you still look like a gentleman?” r

r

Everyone who was arguing was taken aback. Seeing Webb Buster's thick eyebrows, he could only suppress the irritability in his heart and waited quietly. r

r

”It seems that you won't have a conclusion until the afternoon. In this case, choose the plan in the most democratic way, vote by show of hands, you can vote repeatedly, and the minority obeys the majority!” r

r

As soon as these words came out, several people's expressions changed, but they were anxious but unable to speak. r

r

Weber Buster turned a blind eye and went directly to the democratic voting process. r

r

”Agree to the plan No. 1 raise their hands!” r

r

”Three!” r

r

”Two!” r

r

”One!” r

r

”OK, only one vote in agreement, ass!” r

r
